If you have any stories you want to add to this list just put them here, and if you need a Bluesky code so you can connect with these writers away from the horror show of ex-bird site also comment and let’s see if we can work something out.
Thank you for including Midnight Serenade! That’s my alt pen name and I am more active under this one. Everyone can follow me here and find my links in my profile. Including bluesky. (in case you want to include that information in the post about this pen name). I post regularly here on Substack as Jendia Gammon.
Note that this short story is the prologue of my Lunarpunk young adult novel coming out in October, THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN; Mira’s back, while her cousin Gen is the main character. It turns out that Mira’s visit to the ball has long term consequences…
If you don’t mind that would be great because I’m just not active on that other account anymore. Or you could just change the link to this Substack. Thanks, Sarah!
Ann Pancake's story "Rockhounds" is another. She writes about the local impacts on land and culture of things like mining and fracking - this is a good interview: https://thegeorgiareview.com/posts/fiction-that-performs-as-only-fiction-can-an-interview-with-ann-pancake/ She says, "what I’m trying for now are stories that are less about documenting loss and poverty and environmental disaster and more about imagining a way forward."
Love this list, I want to read some of the stories, but I note quite a few are on blue sky and I don’t want to join another social network, is there another way I can read them please?

PS it’s actually Lunarpunk not Solarpunk. Everything is based on night living!
Ohhh so sorry! Want me to update the post?

This one is great: "Farewell Africa," by Manuel Gonzales https://www.guernicamag.com/farewell-africa/
Also, not technically a story, but good for a smile: "Aphorisms for the Anthropocene," by Allegra Hyde: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/aphorisms-for-the-anthropocene
